The Cambria 48 stands as a refined pinnacle of American performance cruising, representing a sophisticated departure from the heavy-displacement, full-keeled traditionalism often associated with the Cabo Rico shipyard. Designed by David Walters and originally constructed in Portsmouth, Rhode Island, the Cambria line was later integrated into the Cabo Rico portfolio to serve as their high-performance, semi-custom offering. The 48 is specifically distinguished by its elegant traditional counter stern, which extends the profile of the original Cambria 44 and 46 models while retaining the same underwater geometry. According to the History of Cambria Sailing Yachts, the design was engineered to meet or exceed Lloyd’s and ABS standards, utilizing advanced composite construction to compete with the world's most prestigious builders, including Hinckley and Little Harbor.
